Pakistan tour of Oz, Dec 8-Jan 26

alot of discussion about yasir bowling this tight legside line

it looks a very negative tactic this early in the game

[rich1uk]

going to be a weird fantasy league for this series as the same 4 players are in just about every team

Doesn't that usually happen? Aren't there 3 or 4 form players that everyone picks? It's getting the dark horse that most people overlooked right that wins fantasy leagues (and is something I am hopeless at).

probably, just looks even more pronounced than usual this time

Probably his job in the first innings. Outside Asia anyway.

yeah i have no problem with that, just feels really early to be doing it

[rich1uk]

first semblance of chance of the day in the 19th over but the edge doesn't carry to slip

[Arthur Crabtree]

Might encourage Yasir to bowl a more attacking line.

It's keep Warner from getting off to his traditional flying start. They are keeping him quiet, at least by his standards (Warner doesn't often have an SR less than 50 once he's got himself in). Pakistan are probably hoping that he'll get frustrated and get himself out going for one too many shots. But he's matured an awful lot in the last few years from the reckless type that you could reliably assume would go after everything.

Wee Davy being outscored by the Pom at the moment.

Can't you ever forgive someone for mistakes he made in his past? He has already apologised for this, but you have to keep reminding him.

The Middlesbrough lad?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Nice that an English batter is scoring runs.

Maybe Pakistan should have picked three spinners?

I'd imagine they'll stop when the Aussies stop going on at England for having South African born batsmen in the team. Seriously, the other day when Jennings made a hundred on debut, the reporter who was covering it on ABC News Radio in a 30 second segment felt the need to point out that Jennings was born in South Africa, just like Trott, Pietersen, Prior and Strauss, as if anyone gave a s***.

[Arthur Crabtree]

He mentioned all those other players?!

obviously you did...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Although he could have filled more than 30 seconds listing SAns to play for England.

amir gets the much needed breakthrough
